Victorian Shawl

Howdy neighbors! Thanks so much for all the well wishes while I was out of commission for a bit. I'm all well now, but I seem to have developed spring fever already. For real, I can't wait to get outside and dig in the dirt! I'm planning on tryin' out some new seeds this year in the garden like these.They're Strawberry Popcorn seeds that yield tiny ears you can dry and place the whole ear in a bag to pop. I can't wait to try that!

I knitted this shawl as part of a knitalong in the ravelry group The Victorians. The pattern is here.Eleven lace points on mine.We took a lil trip with the grandgals to Ripley's Aquarium of the Smokies in Gatlinburg, and I took this video of the jellyfish just for you 'cause it's so cool. (It was impossible to get a movie with anyone talking - they were so excited. ;)

Aww, jellyfishes are gross -but I had to watch your video anyway! We have a big aquarium here too and they also built that shark tunnel. It seems to be a popular way to enjoy the ocean creatures. Being there is thrilling! :-)

Your shawl turned out beautiful. Hope you get better soon and can wear it outside!

Hello my friend, I haven't forgotten you.I have your little green doiley you sent me last year for St. Patrick's Day on my mantel this year!It's reminded me of you!Hope your doing well...I see you've been very busy! The shawl is just beautiful and very vintage looking. Will you wear it?Be blessed,Joyce

Sorry I missed you being ill. Glad to hear your feeling better. The strawberry corn sounds like fun!! You sound alot like me. Spring is trying to break thru and I'm chomping at the bit to get out in the yard and garden! I love the shawl!! Hubby and I are considering taking a small trip for our anniversary to Gatlinburg. Thanks for showing the aquarium! We just may try to go there!
